I got a phone call from a friend
He's a little crazy in the head
I put the phone down let him in
Am I insane
"California, California," he said
"California, California is dead.
California... is dead."
I don't believe your tiny mind
He told me everyone is blind
Do you believe in all you see
In black and white?
"California, California," he said
"California, California is dead.
California... is dead."
I think the problem in the end
Is too much heroin again
How many days will he survive
And stay alive?
"California, California," he said
"California, California is dead.
Oh California... is dead
So's my friend."
